Support Wakefield Imagination Library

Help Us Give Children a Brighter Start


With more children in Wakefield eligible to receive books, our annual fundraising target of £100,000 is vital to ensure every child can be included.

Whilst Wakefield Council and Spectrum CIC provide essential support for the scheme, we are not able to directly fund the future cost of the books, which we need to fundraise for. 

Help us make a difference

Your support will help us to  break cycles of poverty and low literacy - permanently. Your donation will go directly towards the costs of supplying and mailing books to registered children in Wakefield.

Without our partnership with the Dollywood Foundation, the same books would cost over £143 per child per year. Working in partnership we deliver this for £26 a child per year, which is extraordinary value when the long-term benefits are considered.

"We really enjoyed taking part in the bake sale as a team to raise money for the Wakefield Imagination Library. It’s such a good cause knowing that the money we raised goes directly towards books for more local children"
